I have a homework assignment that asks some questions about Guantanamo. I know where it is and what it is. I am not real sure why we are holding "illegal combatants" there instead of a military prison in the US?

Are we not subject to US laws if they are held outside of the U.S.? I thought a military base was considered US soil?!?!! Is it because we want them off of the mainland so they are less of a threat if something happens? Could it be that we assume the terrorists will be less likely to attack the base and free the combatants? And if they do, there is less chance for civilian damage?

Not part of my assingnment, but I have also wondered why we even have a base on an island that we are forbidden to trade with. I assume this goes back to the Cuban Missile Crisis, but I am not well versed on that.

THANKS FOR HELPING ME UNDERSTAND!

I reckon the '08 elections are going to be the most important elections in US history. The American voters know that the status quo (continual bickering and name calling) cannot continue for another 4 years. One party must be given a strong mandate to govern.
I really doubt that Republicans will be the victors after their poor showing during the past 6 years.
So, who do you think will be trusted with this task?

If Gen. David H. Petraeus, Four-Star General, Chief of Staff of the United States Army, General George C. Marshall Award winner as the top graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, he who earned a Master of Public Administration (1985) and a Ph.D. (1987) in International Relations from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, is not qualified to evaluate what is going on in Iraq, why don't the geniuses writing the Op-Eds take over?

"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers. In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late. Accordingly, I am readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I will, in turn, do my best for the cause by writing editorials — after the fact." - Robert E. Lee

"U.S. debt limit near $10 trillion
A Senate panel voted to raise the federal government’s debt limit to almost $10 trillion, the fifth time lawmakers have had to raise the cap since President Bush took office.

The Senate Finance Committee approved by a voice vote legislation increasing the cap by $850 billion to $9.815 trillion amid warnings that the government would hit the current limit next month. The vote sends the measure to the entire Senate for approval. "

Does this acceptably empower the court to prohibit prayer in schools and deny the right of citizens to place a nativity scene on the town square?

Some thoughts:

“Religion [is] the basis and Foundation of Government.” ~ James Madison ~

“No power over the freedom of religion…[is] delegated to the United States by the Constitution.” ~ Thomas Jefferson ~

“While just government protects all in their religious rights, true religion afforded to government is its surest support.” ~ George Washington ~

“If I could have entertained the slightest apprehension that the Constitution framed by the Convention, where I had the honor to preside, might possibly endanger the religious rights of any ecclesiastical Society, certainly I would have never placed my signature to it.” ~ George Washington

OBSERVATIONS:

1) Youth are more disrespectful to parents and family. I.e.: Children being violent, talking back, using foul language towards family and friends.
Question: Why is this behavior rampant is society?

2) Television shows depict sex and sex with multiple partners quite regularly. I.e.: Nip/Tuck, Friends, Sex and the City
Question: Why is this occurence now readily accepted?

3) Actors, musicians, and athletes are paid more than teachers, caretakers, firemen, and police officers. I.e. : Athletes - $6million/year. Teachers - $45,000/year.
Question: One entertains. One directly affects society. Why allow such a disparity in $$?

4) Actors, musicians, and athletes have a greater impact on children than their parents.

5) Society fails to ask the "why" in doing or saying something. For clarification: just because the Constitution and Bill of Rights declares that we have the "right" to say and do certain things, does it mean we SHOULD?

As if it's any wonder that a NAMBLA Member and child rapist lefty flagged this question immediately....once again.

LIberal policies let rapists out of jail early for "good behavior". An insane group called "Human rights watch" wants rapists of chldren to have riiiiiiiiights without the hinderance of having to register and rapists and allow people to know who is living next to them!!!!

NEW YORK (AP) -- Many state laws targeting convicted sex offenders violate the rights of people who pose little risk, a leading human rights group said Wednesday. It called for repeal of laws restricting where these ex-offenders can live and for curbs on access to online registries.

Human Rights Watch depicted its report, two years in the making, as the first comprehensive study of sex-offender policies in the United States. It said many of the laws are of questionable value in protecting children from sex crimes.

Did you notice you can ask a liberal why is the sky purple at sunset and they'll tell you it's because republicans don't care about the environment and promote global warming through big business and multinational conglomerations?

Or if you ask a liberal about their policies that set RAPISTS OF CHILDREN FREE they immediately bring up a republican who has committed a minor offense such as sexually suggestive emails, or a foot rub in a can but none of which has raped a child?

WHat could possibly be going through those pea brains that they cannot use critical thinking skills to directly answer a question? Is the drugs? the all night extasy parties and raves? The scrips and anti-depressants? What exactly causes this insanity and inability to think critically and answer a question directly without diversion to another illrelevant topic?

I believe this guy was named Jeff, and he was talking about all the problems with temperature stations in the US and the world, and how that might be skewing the data on global warming. I was in the car and had no chance to write anything down. Went to Michael Reagan's site, but could find no show notes.

Can you tell me who this guy is and does he have a web site?
